Are We Doomed To Be a Police State? by Rep. Ron Paul, MD U.S. House of
Representatives, June 27, 2002

Personal privacy, the sine qua non of liberty, no longer exists in the
United States. Ruthless and abusive use of all this information accumulated
by the government is yet to come. The Patriot Act has given unbelievable
power to listen, read, and monitor all our transactions without a search
warrant being issued after affirmation of probably cause. "Sneak and peak"
and blanket searches are now becoming more frequent every day. What have
we allowed to happen to the 4th amendment?

FBI
investigates Army impostor The FBI is investigating a man who called
himself an Army captain and looked through a briefcase and laptop computer
belonging to a victim of last month's deadly interstate bridge collapse.

me... so ???? and I have a big year to get through.. with the upcoming big
war... and planetary shifts and all of that... I just wish it was all over
with. Lt. Col........

FORUM:
This is the supoena that was to be delivered upon at 5:00pm sept llth by
Ashcroft concerning findings related to the MENA investigation all the way
back to Kennedy. The very papers that President Bush use Executive priveledge
to supress........ God bless us all.

On my way out the door or would post to forum...just got a phone call
from a friend regarding the tennessee medical examiner who had the bomb attached
to him the other night....well guess what, he did the autopsy on that
Don Wiley the
microbiologist that supposedly fell off bridge and also the Kathryn lady
[Katherine
Smith] who was in the fiery crash right after 9-11 that
had been accused of helping get driver's license....

Let us return briefly to the question of Saddam Hussein's employment of the
poison gas he developed with the help of those lovers of humanity, Ronald
Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush. Hussein is alleged to have
bombarded Iraqi Kurds with poison gas in 1987 and/or in 1988, in the midst
of his long and ferocious war with Iran.

There are conflicting accounts of the incident. Some say thousands were
killed; some say hundreds; a few say none. Some say the Kurds were actually
caught in a murderous crossfire of noxious fumes between the Iranian and
Iraqi armies. Others say the Kurds -- long persecuted by Saddam, as they
are
persecuted by NATO stalwart Turkey -- were fighting alongside the Iranians
and thus made themselves "lawful combatants." The official story is that
Hussein simply gassed the Kurds in a paroxysm of ethnic cleansing (for
which
he was later rewarded by the aforesaid GHWB with even more American money
and material).

Whatever the facts, the charge that Hussein "gassed his own people" has
been
the bloody shirt repeatedly waved by George W. Bush in his frantic bid to
build support for an invasion of Iraq. Such an action, we are told, puts
a
nation beyond the pale of civilization and sends it hurtling into the abyss
of ultimate evil. Any state that would "gas its own people" is, we're told,
a rogue state, a terrorist state.

What then to make of the revelations last week that the United States
"gassed its own people" during the Vietnam War? The Defense Department has
admitted that the Pentagon sprayed more than 4,000 U.S. sailors with
various
substances, including the deadly nerve gas sarin and a gruesome biological
toxin, in a four-year operation (1964-68) called Project SHAD, The New York
Times reports.

The Pentagon said its records do not show that the sailors gave their
"informed consent" to participate in the secret tests. (And how exactly
would that consent process have worked, anyway? "Avast, ye swabs! Can we
spray ye salty dogs with poison gas?" "Arrr, Cap'n, that ye may. We
herewith
absolve ye of all legal responsibility for this immoral act!")

The purpose of these terrorist attacks on patriotic Americans serving their
country was to test defenses against biochemical warfare -- so said the
Pentagon brass at the time. That would be the same Pentagon brass that two
years earlier had sent a plan to President John Kennedy calling for a
series
of terrorist attacks to be launched against the American people -- by the
United States government -- in a frantic bid to build support for an
invasion of Cuba.

But we live in more enlightened times now, of course. For example, even
though most experts say that the fatal anthrax unleashed upon the American
people last fall was almost certainly developed by the U.S. military, we
know that things like Project SHAD don't happen anymore. We know that the
unelected "shadow government" headed by Vice President Dick Cheney in
secret
caves and undisclosed locations -- along with the cadre of Iran-Contra
terrorist conspirators back in power in Washington, and the FBI chieftains
mysteriously rewriting field reports to downplay the danger of terrorist
attacks from Islamic radical groups once cultivated by the CIA -- will
surely keep the American people safe from all harm.

Even from governments that gas their own people.

Shadow Warriors

On the other hand, Shadow Cheney and other Defenders have spent an
inordinate amount of time lately insisting that they cannot keep the
American people safe from all harm -- or any harm, evidently.

While President Bush was wowing Europe last week with endearing displays
of
sleep-deprived crankiness (him not used to staying up so late like
Pootie-Poot do; that's why him got so grumpy, The New York Times lovingly
reported), Cheney led a series of top officials in declaring that more
terror attacks are "inevitable." In fact, Shadowman said they will be "even
worse" than Sept. 11. The "great success" of the "war on terror" has
apparently left the American people in far greater danger than before.

(But if the United States is even more threatened now, then what was all
that fighting in Afghanistan about? Would Hamid Karzai, former consultant
for Texas oil giant Unocal, have some idea? Just asking.)

In this atmosphere of leader-spawned national panic, imagine what would
happen if a heavily armed, black-clad prowler were found planting a bomb
at
a civilian power plant. Surely the story would be 24-7 in the national
media, right? Tabloids, networks, talking heads would be screaming the news
to high heaven: "America Under Attack! Terrorists in Our Midst!"

Unless, of course, the heavily armed prowler happened to be -- wait for
it -- a member of the U.S. military. And unless the incident occurred in
Jeb
Bush's satrapy of Florida. Then all you would see is small story in a
provincial paper, the Savannah Morning News, which last week told the
curious tale of Specialist Derek Lawrence Peterson, 64th Armor Division,
who
was nabbed for planting a bomb in a power station in Jacksonville, Florida.

Police spotted Peterson pulling out from the plant in his pick-up truck,
which was laden with knives, guns, ammo and explosives gear. They later
found the bomb he'd left at the plant.

Peterson said he'd been "practicing reconnaissance techniques." Or maybe
he
was just "testing defenses," SHAD-like, in the best Pentagon tradition?
We'll probably never find out; he's being held incommunicado in one of
Jeb's
jails -- and the Army's not talking either.

Perhaps the Shadow knows?

The
Stacked Lifters experiments This page contains a series of experimental
lifters or propulsion devices that do not use conventional methods for thrust.
These lifters are using the Biefeld-Brown Effect to generate the main thrust
to self levitate and are able to lift their own weight and even additional
load.

It appears that Diane Sawyer mentioned on Good Morning America that Kamen's
"IT" will be revealed on the show on
the 3rd. I hope it is, so all the speculation will finally be over, but
if it really is some sort of revolutionary device incorporating new energy/power
tech (eg. bad for big oil, etc) as many have been speculating, I wouldn't
be at all surprised to see something unusual happen in New York that
morning.

Thanks for your recent help. Hate to be a pain, but
we need more help, real emergency help, fuel in the gas tank help, supplies
in the trunk help, look at these reports of recent, a tad dangerous wouldn't
